29th June: NATIONAL CAMERA DAY!!

This day celebrates photographs, the camera and its invention. The camera is an irreplaceable tool used to record and replicate memories, events and people/places. Before the invention of the camera, the only resource to document a vision was a painting. As there are not many people who can perfectly replicate something into a painting, the power of a camera provided many people with a simple, inexpensive and fast solution.

The camera was made popular by a man named George Eastman, also called “The Father of Photography”. While he did not invent the camera, he did invent many additions that improved the use, ease and production of a camera, making it widely available to homes around the world.

The original camera was large and bulky, but has now evolved into something that can be as small as a pen.

Cameras have many features and variations, making them appealing to men and women of all ages for personal and professional use.
